What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
There’s currently no cure, but there are simple treatments that can help keep the symptoms under control so it doesn’t have a big impact on your life.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of asthma are:
● Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing) ● Breathlessness ● A tight chest, which may feel like a band is tightening around it ● Coughing
The symptoms can sometimes get temporarily worse. This is known as an asthma attack.
Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose asthma by asking about symptoms and carrying out some simple tests.
Treatments
The main types are:
● Reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms (salbutamol) ● Preventer inhalers (steroid) – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms occurring ● Some people also need to take tablets.
Causes and triggers
Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.
It may occur randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Common asthma triggers include:

Forum Title:Do you have a prescription for Ventolin?
Posted by:Dr. Sarah

Hi everyone! I've been prescribed Ventolin by a pharmacy, but have been prescribed it by a doctor in my local NHS hospital. I have been using the Ventolin inhaler for four weeks and I've noticed a difference in the side effects. The Ventolin inhaler is only available on prescription from pharmacies, but the price is quite steep. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this? I'm also considering getting a prescription for Ventolin, as it can be expensive at a local pharmacy, but I'm concerned about the potential side effects. Anyone with experience with Ventolin or are interested in getting a prescription for it?
Hi Tim, thanks for the information about Ventolin. I've been prescribed it by a local GP in my local hospital. I would like to see more detailed information about what the dosage is and where to get it.
Ive been using it for a few weeks and noticed the following:
I'll be on a maintenance dose of Ventolin inhaler over the next few weeks and see how things go.
Thanks, Sarah!
Pregnant women shouldn't use the Ventolin inhaler. If you're not pregnant, it could be harmful.
If you are on a maintenance dose, it may help to take it slowly every 4-6 hours. I've seen some people taking the Ventolin inhaler a few times a day. However, I've found that some people are very sensitive to this medicine and it might cause a bit of a drop in blood pressure. If you take the Ventolin inhaler every day, the risk of getting pregnant is also higher than for someone who's on a maintenance dose.
I've started a regular inhaler every morning and I've noticed that it's working wonders, so I don't think I'll need any more. If I still have a concern about getting pregnant, I'll talk to my GP and see if it's a good option.
